Staff Infection (Wk of 12/6)

[SAGG]

"Infection"? Hm. I don't like that word...

[rcmonroe]

You know these chapter titles usually don't mean much, right? I usually choose a title that's a play on words, or a song lyric, or something, and often it only has a marginal connection to what's actually going on in the comic strip.

Don't worry, I'm not about to go into a venereal disease storyline.

[furrykef]

Of course not. That'd imply giving your characters sex lives.

Actually that never occurred to me, but I appreciate the thought, RC. I was thinking along the lines of "Somebody's done something to get themselves into trouble, and it's affecting the others in some way", hence, "Infection".

P.S.: Or is that "affection"?

[rcmonroe]

Of course not. That'd imply giving your characters sex lives.

Someone could have picked one up off a toilet seat.

Wait, that would imply that they ever go to the bathroom.

If Miriam were in trouble, you can bet she'd make sure Sherry was affected in some way. And probably John, too.

But no, nobody's in trouble. It's just a staff meeting. If you've ever been to one, you know that the worst trouble you're likely to get into is you'll die of boredom.

Of course. I keep forgetting that this is Out There, the "Seinfeld" of web comics, where this is a comic about nothing.

[rcmonroe]

And damn proud of it.

[furrykef]

Nahh. Out There is much better than Seinfeld.

[rcmonroe]

Yeah… he can't even draw.

[SAGG]

(From the 12/11 comic) Heh--why do I suddenly think Miriam will go another route and try to have Sherry hire Steven to do a singing gig at her bar? Lounge singer, anyone?
